Publisher's Synopsis
With the paucity of global public debate, this title raises global, national and local issues to help refine thinking and lift the quality of debate. What follows is a collection of past published thoughts and opinions. In the eBook version there are live links to videos and other supporting multimedia where appropriate. Through his work with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations in wars and natural disasters MacLeod has lived both positive and negative experiences that have informed his views. MacLeod believes we can all make a difference to the world around us - but at times to do so we have to question the status quo and challenge 'conventional thinking'. This book is a collection of his thoughts dating back well over a decade of publication in newspapers, on line and speeches. MacLeod rejects 'sound bite' thinking, preferring deep discourse on issues of political importance. Agree or disagree with his views, these papers will have you thinking.
